HaloUNITY – Uniting Halo Communities

Posted on July 11, 2012 by Dust Storm


HaloUNITY is a new website brought to you by the guys who run Halo Charts, Halo Challenges and HaloRing.org. It is a place where everyone will be able to collaborate with other communities and see events and activities that are going on in the various communities. With Halo 4 on the horizon, this is the perfect place for newcomers to Halo to see what the Halo community as a whole is all about. I have personally awaited a day where a site like this came together and it is nice to see this collaboration in place. For all of our forum members, we will have an award that you will be able to earn for being a part of the “old” forums before the new one get’s finished (more incentive for me to get it done :D). There are achievements over there as well along with credits and a ranking system, very similar to Halo: Reach. What are you waiting for: sign up today!

On that note, the first episode of the HaloUNITY podcast is out and available on iTunes.

Get your first look at the upcoming “Halo” live-action digital series, “Halo 4: Forward Unto Dawn,” via a world premiere teaser trailer now available on Machinima’s YouTube channel and Halo Waypoint.

Premiering this October on the new Machinima Prime channel on YouTube, and on Halo Waypoint, “Halo 4: Forward Unto Dawn” is a live-action digital series that takes fans back to the terrifying beginning of the Human/Covenant war,  when the Master Chief inspired a young cadet who would eventually become a leader aboard the UNSC’s greatest vessel: the UNSC Infinity. “Halo 4: Forward Unto Dawn” tells a story leading into the events of “Halo 4,” the biggest entertainment event of 2012.

Created in partnership with top Hollywood talent from film, television and new media, “Halo 4: Forward Unto Dawn” brings a brand new “Halo” story to life on a scale never before seen in the “Halo” Universe.   The series will debut this October on Machinima Prime and on Halo Waypoint as a five episode series.  The “Halo 4” Limited Edition will include access to the “Halo 4: Forward Unto Dawn” Special Edition via Halo Waypoint, with never-before-seen bonus footage, as well as exclusive fiction and behind-the-scenes content.
